Sparrow dream dance

She kept her that day, but lost them for many years after that.

Some people may ask, why is reunion so difficult, but parting is always so easy?

Maybe just a simple sentence or an action can separate two people who were originally very close?

I think it's probably because in this world, there is no feeling that can be refined into gold without going through a lot of holes.

In fact, the biggest opponent in a person's life is not only fate, but also ourselves.

Every step along the way, the so-called growth, is nothing more than fighting and competing with oneself.

================================================== =====

When the north wind blows, it snows again.

The cold wind is like a knife, and the snow is flying for thousands of miles.

On the outskirts of Gyeonggi City, a not-so-spacious inn was packed with people who were blocked by the wind and snow, and it was extremely lively.

The sky is getting darker, but the snow is getting bigger and bigger.

The shopkeeper's janitor outside the door was howling with a strong north wind, blowing the fire in the hall to sometimes bright and sometimes dark, so he said to the waiter, "Go and close the door, there must be no customers."

The shop clerk ran over, and just as he was about to close the door, a big black hand pressed against the door unpreparedly, so startled that he almost yelled out.

"Stay in the hotel, two upper rooms." An extremely deep and deep voice sounded.

The shop clerk looked up and saw a tall, dark-skinned man. He was holding a steed in one hand, with a knife in his waist, with a broken beard. He looked very rough, like a man in the world.He didn't dare to offend, he hastily opened the door, and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry you are old, but the shop is full today, and there is really no room left."

The man frowned, and just as he was about to turn around to leave, someone behind him pressed his shoulder and said, "At this hour, the gate of Yanjing City is closed, and there is only this inn nearby, where can you go?"

The waiter in the shop opened his eyes wide, and saw a handsome and elegant man walking forward with a horse, smiling like a spring breeze, "Shopkeeper, my two brothers have something to rush to Beijing tomorrow, if there is no shop, can you just give me a place?" Son, let's make do for one night."

Seeing his extraordinary appearance, the waiter in the shop hurriedly bowed and said, "Okay, if the two masters don't mind being wronged, I can move a place in the shop for the gentlemen, and just warm up here, how about spending the night first?"

The elegant man nodded, took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and stuffed it in the second hand of the store, "Thank you, store."

Seeing that he spent a lot of money, the waiter in the shop hastily led the horses for the two of them, led them to the shop, and served them with good wine and meat.

There was a whistling wind outside the door, and everyone sat around the fire.After a few glasses of wine, I didn't feel sleepy for a while.

There was a big man in a sheepskin jacket, holding a big bowl of wine, with his chest open, and while drinking, he laughed and scolded others, "Grandma, the weather this year is so fucking weird, it's snowing endlessly, God really His mother doesn't give people a good life!"

An old man smoking a pipe, coughed twice, and sighed, "It's because the court didn't practice morality and made God angry, but it's us ordinary people who suffer. If the snow keeps falling like this , the crops are not all frozen to death, what will happen to the harvest next year."

The big man in the sheepskin jacket obviously came from another country, he was at a loss when he heard it, he didn't know what the heavy snow had to do with the imperial court.

A young man with the appearance of a scholar sitting beside him lowered his voice, and continued, "Isn't it... I heard that most of that ballad has almost been completed... My elder brother has become a monk in Lianyun Temple. I heard from him that the emperor blatantly slandered Buddhism a few days ago, and said that he would destroy all the Buddhas in the world. Alas, such blasphemy is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Now everyone in Lianyun Temple is panicking. Amitabha, really Sin."

The bearded man and the elegant man had been sitting in the corner, drinking slowly and listening.

When they heard the word 'Emperor', the two looked at each other silently.

The big man in the sheepskin coat couldn't hold back any longer, and asked in a rough voice, "You guys should explain it to me... what poems, what gods?"

The scholar glanced at him disdainfully, and said in a low voice, "Brother, there are some things that cannot be said clearly... If you don't understand, go to the streets of Yanjing tomorrow and listen carefully, and you will understand everything."

At this time, the elegant man who had been sitting quietly interjected to the scholar and asked, "Dare to ask this man, I heard that the emperor went to Lianyun Temple on the day of the wedding, do you know if this is true?"

"Hey, well... you guys are lucky to have a good show today when you meet me." The scholar looked smug.

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces glowed ruddy and high-spirited. The world has always been very interested in the secret history of the royal family, no one is an exception.Many people urged the scholar to speak quickly, and even the shopkeeper brought a jug of wine and leaned over.

The scholar finished his glass of wine unhurriedly before slowly replying, "That's right."

The big man in the sheepskin jacket was stunned for a while, and said, "The emperor didn't spend his wedding night with his bride, but instead ran to the temple. How ugly is this bride?"

The bearded man frowned when he heard this, and pressed his hand on the handle of the knife as a gesture.

When the elegant man saw him, he filled a glass of wine for him, and said with a low laugh, "He has never met the princess, so why are you so serious?"

The bearded man snorted heavily, turned his face away, and drank the wine in one gulp.

The scholar shook his head and continued, "No, no, it's said that the new queen is quite beautiful, but it's a pity..." He paused, lowered his voice, but his eyes were extremely excited, "Everything in the world is beautiful." You know, the current emperor adores his own wife, and it was because of that empress that he took away the former emperor's country. On the day the emperor got married, that empress must have been disheartened, so she ran to become a monk at Lianyun Temple. But I didn't expect The emperor didn't even want the wedding night in the bridal chamber, but he also ran to the temple and chased the empress back. According to my elder brother, at first the empress was unwilling to go back to the palace with the emperor, so the emperor said cruel words, She said that all the Buddhist temples in the world were going to be pulled down, so the empress gave up the idea of ​​becoming a monk. Alas, in ancient times, there was King You of Zhou who laughed at Bomei and played with the princes. These emperors don’t know anything about it, and the words are like a knife!”

The scholar spoke so vividly and funny that at the end, everyone present burst out laughing.

Only the bearded man stood up with a livid face, lifted the heavy cotton curtain without saying a word, and walked out the door.

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and they all looked at his leaving back without knowing why.

The remaining elegant man sighed, put down an ingot of gold, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the story, brother, this little silver can be regarded as a treat for everyone to drink, and farewell." The next step into the snowy night.

He caught up with the man in black, patted the snow flakes on his shoulder, and said helplessly, "Brother Mu, you are too impatient."

These two people are naturally Mu Kun and Duan Wuyou who came from Mobei.

Mu Kun held the rein of the horse and said anxiously, "I don't want to wait any longer. I want to take her home immediately. She must have been wronged a lot."

Duan Wuyou sighed, "Oh, brother Mu is so unwavering in his affection, Duan will definitely help you make the princess change her mind."

He paused, the dark flames in his eyes lit up, and then said, "It's time for that person to taste what it feels like to lose everything."

"Duan Wuyou, what are you going to do?"

Duan Wuyou smiled slightly and said, "Brother Mu, you need to be patient for a few more days. Before meeting the princess, we must meet two people first."

"Who?" Mu Kun asked.

Duan Wuyou got on his horse and asked calmly, "Brother Mu, do you know who wrote the ballad you and I heard along the way?"

Mu Kun shook his head, stared at him and asked, "You know?"

There was a mocking coldness in Duan Wuyou's brows, and he said with a slight smile, "Of course I know. The whole world, except you and me, also hates that person. I'm afraid he is the only one left."

Mu Kun was silent for a long time, then asked again, "Then who is the other person?"

Duan Wuyou slowly suppressed the smile on the corners of his lips, his eyes were far away, and he didn't know where to look.

After a long time, he let out a long sigh, swung the rein of the horse, and said in a low voice, "The night is long and the dream is full, let's go!"

-------------------------------------------------- ----------------------

She lay on the bed in a daze, staring blankly at the top of the bed, she had no idea how she got through these few days.

She was afraid to close Yanjing, because as soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of everything that person had done to her, as well as her tear-stained face in the dark. . .

Every time she thought of that person, her heart seemed to be torn apart again and again, trampled on again and again, and she even found it difficult to breathe.

She suddenly understood Leng Lange's state of mind. This exquisite and gorgeous Fengyi Palace, this precarious Fengyi Palace, this Fengyi Palace that has given her heart wrongly, is actually just a cold prison.Here, she lost all her body and mind, as well as her freedom.

Murong Yan sent two whole groups of guards to strictly guard the Fengyi Palace, no one was allowed to enter or leave at will, especially Chu Xiati.

In this palace of humiliation, no one can be truly happy.

At night, someone whispered outside, she didn't want to hear it, but it still inevitably spread into the extremely quiet hall.

It was the voice of two palace ladies talking.

"Your Majesty...how is it?"

"Hey, I've been lying down all the time, rarely eating... I don't know what happened that day, but it's like this after His Majesty left..."

"I heard that His Majesty is also the same. He has been shutting himself in the imperial study room without seeing anyone...drinking all night long..."

"Isn't that right... Those ministers are dying of anxiety, but no matter how much you beg, His Majesty just refuses to come out..."

She didn't want to hear it, didn't want to hear it, didn't want to hear it!

Don't want to hear a single word about that guy!

She reached out and hugged the long pillow, buried her head deeply in it, and hid her ears and eyes in the darkness.

The two outside the hall discussed and speculated endlessly.

Suddenly the voice stopped abruptly, and then the two shouted nervously in unison, "I have seen Concubine Su."

"Let me go in."

"This... Your Majesty has an order. If there is no order, no one else can come in and out at will..."

"Presumptuous, is this palace an idler? You can see clearly, this palace is the sister of the empress empress, those guards let me in, how dare you two servants stop me?!"

Chu Xiati loosened the pillow slowly. She felt that the voice was familiar yet strange.

There was still a confrontation outside, and she stood up tremblingly.

With a sound of "squeak", she opened the door of the palace, and the two palace maids obviously didn't expect her to get up suddenly, and they were all taken aback.

She glanced wearily at the beautiful woman in full dress standing under the moonlight in front of her, and the respectful court lady behind her, and said sadly, "Come in."

"But... Your Majesty..."

One of the maids wanted to dissuade her in a low voice, but under her resolute eyes, she fell silent.

Su Wan signaled the maid behind her to wait outside the hall, and followed Chu Xiati into the hall calmly.

"Sister, why is it so dark in here?"

There was no light in the hall, so Su Wan closed her eyes, opened them after a while, and could barely see the dark hall.

"Is it dark?" Chu Xiati stood still, turned around and looked at the green moonlight reflected through the pane, her voice seemed to disappear at any moment, "But I think it's still too bright."

Su Wan walked up to her slowly and stared at her carefully.Her face was pale and her eyes were lifeless, like a firewood struggling to be extinguished at any time.

She stretched out her hand, held Chu Xiati's bony hand, and asked, "Sister, why are your hands so cold?"

"Is it cold?" She smiled, pulled her hand back inch by inch, pointed to her heart, and said, "But I don't think it's as cold as here."

Su Wan was silent for a while, then asked, "Sister, what will you do with Your Majesty..."

Before she finished speaking, Chu Xiati covered her ears and said in pain, "Don't mention that person in front of me, I don't want to hear it!"

The hall was silent again.

After a long time, Su Wan sighed and said again, "Sister, even if you don't like to hear it anymore, I still have to say, Your Majesty, she is also in pain. I see her getting drunk all the time. If things go on like this... I'm afraid she will die." It won't be long. As the saying goes, you need to tie the bell to untie it, no matter what happened between you, can't you explain it clearly in person?"

Hearing the words 'life is not long', Chu Xiati was startled, staring at Su Wan in a daze, her heart fluttered.

Yes, now she hated her, hated her, resented her. . .But even so, from the bottom of my heart, I never wanted her to die.

Seeing that Chu Xiati's expression relaxed, Su Wan continued, "I heard that she drank too much alcohol and coughed up blood...but she still kept saying your name, sister..."

Chu Xiati turned her face away, bit her lower lip tightly, and grabbed her hands unnaturally.

"Go see her, sister."

Su Wan looked seriously and said, "You have to know, not everyone knows her identity. She is the current emperor, and there are many femme fatales in the palace. I hope you will fall out of favor, sister, and everyone is eager to be the empress of Dayan." , how can you be willing to give up on yourself like this, do you want to die in the palace like this useless?"

Chu Xiati's body trembled slightly, and she suppressed the turbulent emotions, and said, "She blamed me first, why should I go to see her?"

Su Wan's pretty eyebrows moved slightly, and she forced a smile, "She has that temperament, sister, you don't know. Since she has done something to disappoint you, she dare not see you again. But what about you, sister? Do you really plan to never see her again?" Is it? Wan'er sincerely hopes that you can reconcile as before, that's why she came to say these things to sister, I hope sister, you think twice."

Chu Xiati lowered her eyes, Su Wan's words made her feel tender and uncertain.

Yes, she hated her for what she had done to herself.

But she hated her even more, hated that she ran away after finishing. . .

After a long time, she finally raised her eyes and said, "Okay, I'll go see her."

Su Wan's eyes flashed, and she nodded hurriedly, "In this way, sister, you will soon see with your own eyes that what I said is true. She is really drunk because of you."

Chu Xiati sighed, and said, "But now Fengyi Palace is heavily guarded, and I can't get out unless she gives an order."

Su Wan smiled and said, "How difficult is this?"

She approached Chu Xiati, pointed to the shadows of the three maids waiting outside the hall, and whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Chu Xiati looked a little hesitant, and said, "Why bother?"

Su Wan explained, "Although it's a bit troublesome, it can make you appear in front of her unexpectedly. Don't you want to see if she is really worried about you at this time?"

Seeing that she was so persistent, Chu Xiati was moved by her in her heart, and she really wanted to see how Murong Yan was doing without Murong Yan knowing, so she fixed her eyes and said, "Well, it's up to you Word."

In the middle of the night, Su Wan came out of Fengyi Palace and rewarded a lot of silver to the guards in front of the palace.

She smiled coquettishly, "My Lady is asleep, so I won't bother you any more. I have to let you off tonight, so that my sisters can reminisce about the old days."

"Your Majesty's words are serious, so let's talk about it."

The head of the guards watched Su Wan leave with a smile. In the dark night, he didn't notice at all that the maid next to her who kept her head down was actually Chu Xiati who Su Wan said was supposed to be asleep.
